Spending money to see the stars in Tekapo means you can watch them from inside, buy a ticket for the artificial hot springs and sit in the pool to watch, or buy a cup of coffee and sit on a wooden chair to watch. The free method is to drive there yourself at night to see the stars and then drive back (excluding the cost of gas). A round trip drive from Christchurch is more than 6 hours, which is enough. Just be mindful of small animals at night.

Could you please tell me if there is a big difference between what John saw and what the church saw? We are fine with taking photos, but we are not enthusiasts. We are from Chengdu and rarely see the stars all year round. If the difference is significant, we would still be willing to spend money to join a tour. If the difference is not big, we would just like to see it at the church ? New Zealand Q&A

The best thing to bring to South Island, New Zealand is a short down jacket because the temperature difference between day and night is very large. Even if you come for a summer vacation, you must bring it. Queenstown is a must. Unless you want to test how cold-resistant you are. Bringing it will not regret it ? New Zealand Q&A

Returning the car to a different location and transporting it by ship may not be very cost-effective, but driving from Auckland to Wellington is also considered returning the car to a different location. Then, picking up another car in Picton and returning it in Queenstown is also considered returning the car to a different location. If the cost difference is not too big, maybe it's still more convenient to take the car by ship to the South Island, right ? New Zealand Q&A

So suggest people rent cars with credit cards and make sure your credit cards have rental car insurance. My card has it, so I don't have to buy any collision insurance. After getting home, I just fill out an online claim form, upload all the photos, documents, and credit card records when I rented the car, etc. Two weeks later, I received an email saying the claim was approved, and all the windshield fees that the rental car company deducted from me were returned to me. They asked me how I wanted them to send the money to me ? New Zealand Q&A

The service staff took a lot of pictures when I picked up the car. I thought they were professional, so I didn't take any pictures (besides, I thought that since I had full insurance, there wouldn't be any problems if an accident happened). Today, when I returned the car, a different lady looked at it very carefully and found a little damage to the paint. She didn't compare it to the pictures when I picked up the car. She just emphasized that I didn't need to make any payments, but asked me to sign. I wondered if the insurance company was playing some kind of trick ? New Zealand Q&A

Can the whole electronic visa passport be scanned (all blank pages are scanned)? Or just the used pages (such as the pages with exit stamps)? In addition, do you need to scan the new passport if the previous passport has many transit stamps and visas? If scanned, do you also need to scan the whole passport, including blank pages?

Apply for an electronic visa to New Zealand online, fill in the name according to the requirements, and find that the displayed name is opposite to the passport. If this is issued, the name should also be reversed. How do you fill in when you apply? For example, the visa is XU ZHANG, and the passport is ZHANG XU. Or do you need to reverse the order of the name when applying for the visa to keep it consistent with the order of the passport ? New Zealand Q&A
